   Windows will now check the disk.                         
  Stage 1: Examining basic file system structure ...                 
   0 bad file records processed.                                      
  Stage 2: Examining file name linkage ...
   0 unindexed files recovered to lost and found.                     
  Stage 3: Examining security descriptors ...                                                           
   Usn Journal verification completed.
  Stage 4: Looking for bad clusters in user file data ...                                                    
   File data verification completed.
  Stage 5: Looking for bad, free clusters ...                                                      
   Free space verification is complete.

In summary, after a BSOD, these 10 sfc & DISM & chkdsk steps are 
veritably required to ensure the integrity of your Windows file system.
